Ship Money List SHIP MONEY LIST KINGSBRIDGE HUNDRED 1635 This document is taken from an article which appeared in the newspaper "THE SWINDON Advertiser" on 7th and 14th November 1885. In the County of Wilts the Tax was liked no better than ot was in Buckinghamshire, but the people appear to have done what they have done ever since - Namely, exercised the Englishman's privilege of paying and grumbling so that nothing more came of it. The schedule from which we copy is an original document, in excellent preservation, and which has, we believe, remained in the possession of the descentants of those to whom it was originally addressed, and to whom we are indebted for the courtesy of being allowed to take a copy. www.genuki.org.uk /big/eng/WIL/ship1635.html   (656 words)

Publication 510 (1/2007), Excise Taxes for 2007 A tax of $3 per passenger is imposed on certain ship voyages, as explained later under Taxable situations.

$236 Million Cruise Ship Deal Criticized If the ships were at capacity, with 7,116 evacuees, for six months, the price per evacuee would total $1,275 a week, according to calculations by aides to Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.). Carnival, which is headquartered in Miami but incorporated for tax purposes in Panama, paid just $3 million in income tax benefits on $1.9 billion in pretax income last year, according to company documents. McIntyre said the ship has been waiting for repairs to the Mississippi port of Pascagoula, where more evacuees are expected to board. www.washingtonpost.com /wp-dyn/content/article/2005/09/27/AR2005092701960_pf.html   (1089 words)

Transportation Institute Maritime Policies of Select Countries Ships that undertake regular voyages between Greek and foreign ports, or exclusively between foreign ports, as well as cruise vessels, are entitled to a 50-percent reduction on the tonnage payable.

AKLegislature.com: Statewide cruise-ship tax measure resurrects Cruise ship passengers would pay a $50 tax and the industry would be held to tighter environmental standards under a ballot initiative proposal submitted to the state on Tuesday. Communities that host cruise ship passengers without the ship's docking at those communities would receive 25 percent of the revenue generated by the tax, which would be used for non-port improvements. Geldhof estimated the corporate income tax could raise between $8 million and $15 million a year for the state, but it is uncertain how much would be generated from the gaming tax. www.alaskalegislature.com /stories/043003/cruisetax.shtml   (648 words)

Cruise ship head tax good for tourism | Andrew Halcro for Alaska Governor in 2006 From exploration tax credits and streamlined permitting to fifty million dollars from the feds to market Alaska’s seafood, we’ve taken steps to develop these important economic engines. Instead, we tax the Cruise lines (who ultimately pass this cost onto the passengers) and give it to a few select companys or cities in what I like to call business welfare. Frankly the head tax should be done away with as well as the rental tax. www.andrewhalcro.com /cruise_ship_head_tax_good_for_tourism   (917 words)

Customer Feedback on Alaska Cruise Ship Tax Although this tax is only a small amount of the total for a cruise of that nature, it sets a precedent for other locations to attempt to raise additional revenues without having to offer any additional amenities or do anything extra at all. I expect that as people hear about this 'cruise ship tax' there will be many more who will reconsider their cruise location, and go to other areas. When 5 2000-passenger cruise ships put in to Skagway, population 800, as they do several times a week in the summer; the place is overwhelmed--trash all over, huge strains on water and sewer systems. www.vacationstogo.com /alaska_tax_feedback.cfm   (2521 words)

Ship Money In the past, whenever there were fears of a foreign invasion, kings were able to order coastal towns to provide ships or the money to build ships. Whereas in the past Ship Money had been raised only when the kingdom had been threatened by war, it now became clear that Charles intended to ask for it every year. The great business of providing money for ships, which used to be charged on the port towns and neighbouring shires, is too heavy for them alone, therefore the Council have cast up the whole charge of the fleet, and have divided it among all the counties. www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk /STUshiptax.htm   (526 words)

Cruise Critic News: Alaska Approves Controversial Cruise Tax The current tally from Tuesday's primary election is 52 percent in favor of the measure, and 48 percent against it. As a refresher, Ballot Measure 2 (commonly referred to as the "cruise ship tax") involves an eight-page proposal with several controversial provisions -- many of which have been kicked around in the past, but only this year netted enough petition signatures to make it to the voting booths. The Legalese: The initiative also allows for civil lawsuits to be filed against an owner or operator of a cruise ship, or against the Department of Environmental Conservation, for an alleged violation of any permit condition, provision of environmental statutes or performance of duties. www.cruisecritic.com /news/news.cfm?ID=1761   (648 words)

Cruise Ship Report -- Latest News About Cruise Ships While the stiff head tax will mean higher fares for Alaska cruises, possibly putting a damper on passenger demand, and the environmental provisions are thought by many to be duplicative and unnecessary, neither of these are believed likely to lead cruise lines to retreat from the Alaska cruise market. But the casino tax, and the requirement that cruise lines make public details of their business arrangements with land tour operators and local merchants, potentially raise much more troublesome issues for the major cruise companies. The number of cruise ships sailing Alaskan itineraries has grown steadily in recent years, and they are expected to bring nearly one million visitors to Alaska this year making them the largest source of Alaska's tourists. www.cruise-ship-report.com /News/082406.htm   (829 words)

Last check: ) SitNews - Opinion/Letter: Cruise Ship Tax By Vic and Judi Vreeland After reading about the narrowly passed cruise tax vote, we have to wonder what scare tactics were employed to coerce voters to implement yet another tax on visitors to Alaska. This tax, like many others, will merely be passed on to the cruiser and would not affect the profits of the cruise line unless the cruise line cuts back on the number of cruises to Alaska. www.sitnews.us /0906Viewpoints/091306_vic_jidi_vreeland.html   (363 words)

David Malpass on Tax Reform on NRO Financial Tax legislation has also passed in each of Bush’s first 4 years in office, with the president now enjoying a more solidified Republican majority in the Senate (55 seats, up from 51) to help push reform legislation through. An extension of the lower tax rates provided in 2003, an expansion and aggregation of tax-preferred savings vehicles such as IRAs, Roth IRAs, 401(k)s, and 529 education accounts, and some relief from the ever-broadening alternative minimum tax should all be part of tax reform. This presents a particular difficulty for a major tax reform, in that a primary goal of such a reform is to increase economic growth. www.nationalreview.com /nrof_malpass/malpass200502020904.asp   (1042 words)

Cigarette Tax Recovery Trust Fund (96-493) The Comptroller will not ship cigarette tax stamps without advance payment unless the distributor is a participant in the Cigarette Tax Recovery Trust Fund with an approved line of credit or has pledged sufficient collateral to secure payment for the tax stamps and meets any other conditions imposed by the Comptroller.

Freedom Ship - the City at Sea The Freedom Ship has little in common with a conventional ship; it is actually nothing more than a big barge. The bolt-up construction and the unusually large amount of steel incorporated into the ship meets the design engineer's requirements for stability and structural integrity and the cost engineers requirements of "economic feasibility" but the downside is a severe reduction in top speed, making the ship useless for any existing requirements. For example, it would be too slow to be a cruise ship or a cargo ship. www.freedomship.com   (448 words)

USATODAY.com - Panel shows little support for cruise ship tax   (Site not responding. Last check: ) He said the cruise lines pay no state income taxes on their cruise profits, and they need to start pitching in since the state is facing a budget deficit of over $400 million. Susan Burke, a lawyer for the cruise ship association, said the tax probably would violate provisions in the U.S. Constitution dealing with interstate commerce and interstate travel. But Gatto said the state Department of Law has concluded that a cruise ship tax could be legal as long as it's used to recoup related government expenses. www.usatoday.com /travel/news/2004-01-28-alaska-cruise-tax_x.htm   (633 words)

The Seattle Times: Local News: Alaska group pushing for tax on cruise ships The proposal would impose a $50 tax on each cruise-ship passenger and a 33 percent tax on shipboard gambling income. It also would subject cruise ships' dumping in state waters to waste-water permits, which are required for other Alaska industries. The proposed initiative also would require cruise ships to pay for licensed observers on their boats, much like the Bering Sea fishermen who pay observers traveling on their vessels. seattletimes.nwsource.com /html/localnews/2002068766_cruiseship21m.html   (398 words)

Time traveller's guide to Stuart England Hampden, a Buckinghamshire MP, was prosecuted for refusing to pay Ship Money, a tax traditionally paid by coastal areas for support of ships in the navy. In 1637 John Hampden was taken to court for refusal to pay the tax, which he denounced as illegal. Given that the judges were crown appointees, and that five of the 12 declared for Hampden, his defeat was a moral blow against Charles's government. www.channel4.com /history/microsites/H/history/guide17/timeline10.html   (137 words)

SitNews - Opponents of "Cruise Tax" Say Alaska's Economy Is Under Attack By Dick Kauffman Ballot Measure 2, more commonly referred to as the "cruise ship tax", is sponsored by Juneau-based Responsible Cruising in Alaska (RCA); the Campaign to Safeguard America's Waters (C-SAW) an Alaska-based project on the Earth Island Institute; Karen Jettmar of Equinox Wilderness Expedition; and Bluewater Network a national environmental organization based in San Francisco. He said he believes that the special interest behind the "cruise ship tax" would just as soon over the course of time see tourism in Southeast Alaska, and probably on the road system, minimized to where there could possibly be no tourism. He said taxing cruise ships and tighten regulations is an example of an initiative whose sole purpose is to punish one industry. www.sitnews.us /0706news/071206/071206_cruise_tax.html   (2841 words)
